I am a Ph.D. student at Princeton University, advised by Karthik Narasimhan. Previously, I graduated from Yao Class at Tsinghua University.
In my work, I build language agents (e.g. CALM, WebShop, ReAct, Reflexion, ToT) to interact with internal and external worlds, via reasoning and acting.
In my life, I like reading, basketball, pool, travel, and rap.
I would appreciate (annoynomous) feedback about anything!

May 2023: There has been a malicious, non-runnable, probably ChatGPT-generated ToT repo that has more stars than the official ToT repo. I have explained the situation here. Please de-star the malicious repo and star the official repo to prevent other people from be misled and wasting time, thanks!

Apr 2023: I attended LangChain Agent Webinar (long YouTube video and short Twitter summary).
